Carter -So what didn't they go for?
O'Neill - The name I suggested..
Carter - For the ship?
O'Neill - Yeah
Carter - Sir, we can't call it the Enterprise
O'Neill - Why not!
Proof that once again, Stargate SG-1 was epic.
Red Dwarf’s “don’t give me that Star Trek crap, it’s too early in the morning” made quite an impression to my younger self!
You missed one, Star Trek itself, in Star Trek: First Contact when Riker is trying to convince Cochran he is from the future he shows him the Enterprise in orbit through a telescope to which Cochran replies, “so you’re from some sort of Star Trek right?”.
Missed that bit..now I know what to rewatch this afternoon
Theory: when Kirk wasnt splitting logs in the Rockies, Boston Legal was what Kirk experienced in the Nexus. Seems logical 😂
TJ Hooker proves that holodecks were installed in the the Movie era enterprise
Love it :)
What about his TJ Hooker years? Perhaps temporal compression? 🤓
With that many Wink, Nudges and Nods…. I’d say yes… it was his time in the Nexus…
Damn I just came here to say that.
They forgot that Boston Legal also had DS9 cast member Rene Auberjonois, and he and Shatner both argued in front of a judge played by Armin Shimmerman.
And John Larroquette played a klingon in star trek 5....correction, it was 3
@@taylorakers9939 Wasn't that Star Trek 3, though🤔🤨
Oh crap it was lol
Stargate SG1 referenced "The Enterprise" in what to name one of their battleships. Also when test flying a fighter class ship a reference is made inertial dampers and phasers, the absence of the latter being a source of disappointment to Jack O'Neill.
You forgot the actual Star Trek parody skit from episode 200!
@@tedeng9428 I loved that so hard! 😄
Stargate loves Star Trek and we love Stargate too :)
@@JohnnyWednesday All 10 seasons, all 3 movies, and remember the Trip/wraith storyline from Altantis? Sorry, not quite on point, but still awesome. 🤓
@@tedeng9428 I can't believe that one didn't make the list.
William Shatner wasn't the only Trek Veteran to appear in Boston Legal. Rene Auberjonois had a recurring role as a partner, and there were guest appearances by Armin Shimmerman, and a few others I cannot recall at the moment. One other thing. The missile that carried all the Trek memorabilia into the sun was launched by Space 1999's Eagle One.
Can't leave out Stargate SG-1. The 200th episode, which is hilarious, has an homage to Star Trek.
And the classic Thunderbirds movies.
That whole episode was great. Especially when Vala does a little Farscape spoof and Morty has no idea what she's talking about. Frell!
One of my personal favorites is an episode of Cybill where Jonathan Frakes tries to start a relationship with Cybill and there is constant talk about his part on TNG. He ultimately gets rejected at the end of the episode and Jonathan calls the enterprise to beam him up in a hilarious final gag.
Boston Legal was pure Gold, Shatner and Spader were great together and Shatner was hilarious in the role.
"Are You Being Served" S05E02 - In the toy department when Captain Peacock demonstrates the Television Robot for sale, Mrs. Slocombe exclaims: "Oh Look, it's Star Trek!". Mr. Lucas replies, "It's probably a repeat".
That's a helluva reference, but I know that episode well
No, no. Star Trek hosted the video yesterday...
I am a huge fan of Star Trek and I think The Orville is absolutely amazing. Seth McFarlane did an amazing job capturing the feel of the show while making a little fun.
Well, a show had to since Discovery started out too dark.
The new season has the feeling that he has dropped like 95% of the comedy. Sure, youve got a few quips here and there, but he seems to a have totally devoted himself to making a star trek alternative. Not that I'm complaining.
I'm gonna have to watch that show once I'm caught up on Discovery.
Leonard Nimoy actually voiced Sheldon’s Spock action figure in an episode of Big Bang Theory.
Star Trek was also mentioned in one episode of The West Wing.
You mean we wouldn't have had Welchy if Scotty hadn't refused to guest on Futurama? Thank you Scotty! You were missed, but Welchy was a great addition.
And when Jonathan Frakes' head replaced Leonard Nimoy's head, Frakes' one line was great. Yes! Front Row.
Stargate SG1's 200th episode has a very short but very funny Star Trek skit. I highly recommend it.
I think Community had a few references with Troy and Abed as Geordi and Data. They even had a secret room in their apartment designed to look like a holodeck.
Gargoyles had one or two (maybe more) Star Trek references, but far more Trek actors than anyone else.
Its studio was in the same building as tng
Technically, the Reading Rainbow episode using the TNG sets fits that as well
@@Ottophil I will assume for the voice acting.
@@bryanboatwright1671 the dude, who rebuild the castle with the Gargoyles was designef after and voiced by Jonathan Frakes
@@Isador I know the list. I should have asked, was the sound stage used for recording voices next door to the THG?
Stargate SG1 poked fun at Star Trek a number of times. In later seasons of SG1 the Asgard transporter was used a lot. O'Neill would make reference to Star Trek many times as he did with The Wizard Of Oz. Stargate also poked fun at itself 3 times and Farscape once.
My fav skit from 200 was the Thunderbird marionettes.
Plus they also poked at Richard Dean Anderson him self in the pilot, by having Samantha Carter telling that they had to MacGyver a system to make the Stargate work.
@@tetravega567 I also liked the Farscape parody ... particularly as Ben Browder and Claudia Black were both stars from that series.
Wormhole X-treme
06:46 : That's an Eagle from Space 1999. Great series from my childhood that I'd completely forgotten.
It also reappeared later in Futurama, during the demolition derby featuring more Trek references.
The Wonder Years did a memorable homage. I think it deserved to be on the list.
I've always liked Beavis and Butthead's parody: "Number One, I order you to take a number two."
I see so many people in Star Trek social media groups that say The Orville is the better "New Trek" (dogging on Picard and Disco). Its actually all of the chatter I saw about it in Star Trek groups that made me eventually give it a try. And they were right. I love the less censored takes on specific star trek episodes it produced.
There was one reference missed, albeit a small reference. Stargate: Atlantis....when Sheppard and McKay were trying to figure out what to name their ship, Sheppard tells McKay "you better not name it Enterprise"....can't figure out the exact episode, but it's there.
Bringing Jeri Ryan (formerly Seven) into an episode with Shatner in Boston Legal was also a good nod to Trek fans. Shatner also teamed up with Leonard Nimoy on TJ Hooker for an episode. Producers will use any hype to get more viewers.
That is not what "hype" means.
I absolutely loved Black Mirror’s USS Callister. I’m still holding out hope for a spin-off series that follows the exploits of the crew of the USS Callister!
Stargate SG-1, Animaniacs, Nickelodeon's 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DC's Arrowverse (especially DC's Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash) also made a bunch references to Star Trek even reacting some episodes of Star Trek itself. Lol
CSI. Hodges cosplays at a sci-fi convention. A producer is rebooting an "optimistic" ST type show into a grim/dark version which does not go over well with the fans. When he is found murdered Hodges secures the scene and calls it in to Capt. Brass and says the immortal line: "He's dead, Jim."
Night Court had a scene where classic Trekkies had been fighting with the Next Gen trekkies. Considering that Night Court helped Brent Spiner get on ST by his reoccurring role as an idiotic hillbilly I think it bears mentioning here.?
The hillbilly was a Soong.
@@anvalisok that would make insane sense 😅
Bob Wheeler
the Wheelers had a daughter who married into the Soong family. That's my head canon.
@Joel anVALISok The "weenie cart" was actually code for a positronic relay prototype.
"The Wonder Years" (1988 - 1993) The Episode: "Just Between Me and You and Kirk and Paul and Carla and Becky" (1989) had a great little dream sequence which was a parody based on "Spock's Brain"... Fred Savage was Kirk and Danica McKellar was the alien Eymorg Kara. Props, outfits were kid sized replicas, the girls' hairdos too and sound effects were the identical to the original.
i saw that..awesome
I also liked the Star Trek parody from DC's Legends of Tomorrow" Season 5 Episode 14.
Oh yeah, that was pretty good.
It gets reference numerous times in Stargate, there many cameos from ST acttors and there is one very special episode, where the main cast is mostly absent and we follow nerdy scientist (who would like to be heroes just like SG1 or the ST crew) bickering over Star Trek details, naming conventions etc and its hilarious!
I always wanted my phone to have that characteristic chirp when I had a flip phone.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 did it best. Season 6 episode 11, Last of the Wild Horses, has a complete Mirror Mirror exchange with TV's Frank and Dr. Forester in the theater for part of the episode. Season 7 episode 6, Laserblast, has Mike Nelson channeling Janeway in drag to save the Satellite of Love from a black hole.
How on Earth (or in space) do you make a list like this without mentioning Saturday Night Live? They've been parodying Star Trek for decades, with multiple different actors. Also there was a parody on The Carol Burnett Show.
CORRECT ON BOTH COUNTS…. John Belushi as Capt Kirk was epic. … Chevy Chase was Spock if I recall.
I wish I had seen this earlier, and I would have made a much briefer post. As to the Carol Burnet Show, I don't recall that particular episode as I was a mere lad in those days. 4 mebbe 5 channels and you had to watch what Mum or Dad wanted to watch.
The video is about 10 times Trek was in other shows. Not ALL the times? 🤷🏼♀️
Im still trying to figure how how she hid those huge boobs all this time
In Living Color also parodied Star Trek at least once.
If vague is references are allowed then red dwarf made many star trek jokes. And don't forget to change the red alert bulb
The second to last episode of the show "Duckman" is called "Where no Duckman has gone before" and it is a parody of Star Trek 2 among other episodes.
It featured the whole cast of the show Duckman as Star Fleet officers and Duckmans nemesis King Chicken as "Khan Chicken".
And it featured Leonard Nimoy in a cameo too.
If you have never seen this episode, you are missing out.
You missed a few here. Dilbert the animated series, and The Wonder Years both come to mind.
Hallo und beste Grüße aus Deutschland! ✌🏻 Schön, dich hier zu sehen. Ich hoffe, es kommt bald wieder ein 8bitkeys- Video, die finde ich klasse!
The 8-Bit Guy... AWESOME!
That Wonder Years tribute was hilarious!
And Reading Rainbow.
You missed a pretty epic one. On Babylon 5 episode S02E14 “there all the honour lies”, EarthGov opens a B5 gift shop to make some money. The command staff is not happy, leading commander Ivanova to say “This is demeaning. This isn't some deep-space franchise, we stand for something!"
Or the moment Commander Sheridan telling Bester( Walter Koenig) to get out of the captain's chair of the White Star.
The wonder years, space balls, Airplane 2, just a few that were omitted.
Yep that scene where Shatner see's the Enterprise in a flyby is a classic
Saturday Night Live? Either Belushi as Kirk, or the episode where Shatner was the Guest star? This seems a major oversight.
10:01 That's not just a random Borg drone.... He's dressed up as Hugh.
Good catch
Little tidbits of trivia: There once a very short lived TV show called "Quark" that was an unabashed parody/homage to Trek. Best thro away line ever was "you can't miss it, it's past the Roddenberry bush." An outright reference to Trek's creator. I can also point out that SNL did a sketch with over the top performance by John Belushi as Captain Kirk. There was another called Fridays that had Bill Shatner acting like Capt. Kirk and talking into his wallet like it was a communicator. Mind you this was pre cell phone days. Living Color did a skit as well and Jim Carey did a bang up job as Kirk.
I remember all of these!
cybill ( with jonathan frakes beaming out at the end (another Chuck Lorre comedy))
You beat me to it, but I'm guessing they decided Sean had already covered that in "10 things you don't know about Riker", although, I'd say it qualifies for both categories.
Let me say those two words that inspire shock and awe...... Denny Crane.
Boston Legal is one of the greatest shows of all-time! That episode when Denny gets the phone making communicator sounds, and mentions beaming, was a huge "marking out" moment when first viewed live on TV back in the day.
Stargate episode 200 and in Atlantis Shepard is compared to Kirk by McKay alot
Orville has become almost more Trek than most Star Trek being released today. They've just marketed it horribly. Also as far as Family Guy goes, the cliff hanger at the end of Stewie Kills Lois is probably the best, but most obscure one in there. First time I saw it I laughed until I damn near had an asthma attack.
To Be Continued...
A major plot element of The Undiscovered Country is that the crew is nearing retirement and it was a climax worthy of the series
Im Pretty sure American dad would also be a good candidate. Especially because Patrick Stewart is also starring in it as Bullock. There were some quite funny references every now and then... :D
American Dad did a whole episode about the CIA's holodeck.
Stargate SG-1 did a decent short parody.
Yes in the episode 200!
And a ton of references throughout the series
There was also a few jokes in others referring Star Trek. Name of the first large spaceship in the series. "No we cant call it the Enterprise" is one
yes it was on the episode 200
@@petterlerdahl1193 In Tangent, Jacob Carter: "who am I, Scotty?"
In the Anime Martian Successor Nadesico the ship has type 5 shuttles, a complete okudagram of the ship with warp coils, shuttles in the bay and a computer core. Also in the series the ship's engineer has a Revel USS Enterprise model kit. Then there's Space Battleship Yamato 2202 with the Yamato's sister ship named Ginga( translated to Galaxy).
And here i am, one year later, still catching up with Trek Culture i missed! 😊
Eek! The Cat had a hilarious Star Trek parody. Yeah pretty much everyone was doing Star Trek parodies at some point, but this one sticks out to me.
Muppet Babies did it, Tiny Toon Adventures did it, Animaniacs did it, In Living Color, SNL, Mad TV, My Little Pony (more overtly in the comics, but let's not deny that Discord and Q are essentially the same character, so much so that in later eps of MLP, the signature Q snap-n-flash plus the sound effect were used almost all the time)
Forgot about Pigs in Space from the 1970s Muppet Show "The Swine Trek"
I think we forgot about the great parody of ST:TOS with the original Saturday night live with John Belushi as Capt Kirk
Frasier referenced Star Trek in several episodes. Stargate Atlantis did too.
As did SG-1. O'Neill wanting to name one of the ships Enterprise for example... (think it was the Daedalus?)
I'm still waiting for Jason Momoa to show up on a for-real Star Trek as a for-real Klingon.
@@willmfrank Wouldn't even need make-up
@@JasonCliftJones Pretty sure it was the Prometheus.
Frasier doing a Bar Mitzvah speech for his kid... in Klingon.
The orivelle is fabulous. And they need to air season 3 asap
Best Trek channel on youtube right here.
No... You missed a great one... *Frasier* giving his kid's Bar Mitzvah speech in Klingon was HYSTERICAL the first time I saw it. OMG, I thought I might die laughing.
let's not forget Stargare SG-1 Episode "200" which had the cast coming up with ideas on how to present the Stargate program to the people, without actually revealing it. one of the skits shown is very reminiscent of Star Trek. Also, there is the Dr. Who episode of "The Empty Child" which first sees Rosae asking for the Doctor to bring out the "Spock: and then tells Captain jack Harkness that her traveling companion (aka The Doctor) is called Spock.
The Wonder Years has a dream sequence that parodies TOS episode "Spock's Brain".
Leverage had some trek refrences especially with the First Contact job.
Not to mention how many Star Trek Alumni did show up from the Original run and recently with Redemption
Carol Burnette Show did a star trek parody, and Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock makes an surprise appearance on the show.
its possible it got left off, due to it being another Seth Mcfarlane show, but Patrict Stewart voices Deputy Director Bullock on American Dad, which leads to some Trek references, a holodec style device, and other crazy CIA tech, allowing for sci-fi stories.
The best South Park reference was absolutely the episode "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods." The specificity of spoofing "Dagger of the Mind" while also still feeling like a complete South Park episode was brilliant! I was still new to TOS at the time and I saw this South Park episode mere days before Sci-Fi Channel aired the special edition (90 minute) version of "Dagger of the Mind." It blew me away how South Park was redoing a specific episode!
I always saw the Trek references in Boston Legal as fourth-wall moments - Shatner doing a sort of nudge-nudge wink-wink to the audience implying "you remember me from my role in Star Trek". IIRC, Boston Legal had a lot of fourth-wall moments, of which the Trek references were very few.
Community + Stargate 200 episode... there are so many! don't stop whatculture.. this is fun!
Fresh Prince referenced Trek a couple of times. And I know you mentioned Seinfeld already but would've been great to see the examples. Like George screaming "KHAAAAAAAN"
Thank you for giving me a reason to check out black mirror it's amazing. I normally stay away from highly popular things but any show that pays homage to trek is ok with me.
Stargate SG1 where they wouldn't let O'Neill call the new space ship Enterprise
You missed 'Suits' as well, although. very obscure and small references, they were there, several times in several episodes, particularly referring to Kirk and the Kobayashi Maru Test...
Come to think of it, 'Friends' referenced Star Trek several times as well, and 'Waynes World'.....
If you'll look at the Motorola phone that Shatner is holding at 12:40, you might also note that the Motorola logo happens to look like a doubled up Starfleet emblem.
It's probably a bit further down, but Red Dwarf Episode 'The Last Day': Kryten comments 'Is this the Human value you call... friendship?" and Lister's rejoinder: "Don't give me that 'Star Trek' crap, it's too early in the morning" - It may not be too sympathetic, but it's not. on. the. LIST!
Stargate Sg1, Jacob Carter, when Daniel informs him that he "thought you could just "beam" jack o neill and tealc back" and Jacob says: "what am I, Scotty?" ....
Episode: Tangent.
Thank you, I wasn't aware of the "Mad Men" reference.
Saturday Night Live: Jim Belushi as Kirk, Chevy Chase as Spock ("Frankly Captain, I'm exhausted"), Dan Ackroyd as Bones.
You forgot the Animaniacs episodes Star Truck and Willie Slackmer!
Stargate SG-1: You can't name the ship the Enterprise!
The final episode of Webster was a crossover with TNG featuring Worf and the Enterprise set.
You missed two of the best:
- Stargate SG-1, 200th episode parodies Startrek along with a host of other shows.
- DC legends of tomorrow EPIC end of season 5, with the fates, has the legends trapped in a TV program that's again StarTrek, but with the genres reversed, in its 14th episode.
Saturday Night Live has done many parodies.
It's like the point of the entire show...
@@Linerunner99 how is South park doing the entire episode? I would argue SNL over South Park.
"Wink nudge nod" in the Frasier episode "Star Mitzvah" where Frasier is tasked with getting Scott Bakula's autograph for a superfan friend but fails his quest. This superfan was supposed to guide Fraser through a Hebrew blessing for his son's bar mitzvah, but instead retaliates for the failure by transcribing it into Klingon. Frasier delivers the blessing in the synagogue which stuns the rabbi, but one of his son's friends recognizes the Klingon blessing and thought it awesome. Love that episode.
There was also a cameo on the Comedy "Night Court". It's an oldie, but a goodie.
Oh... And Boston Legal used the communicator sound more than once on Denny Cranes flip phone. I believe they went back to the well twice. I just finished rewatching the series.
My favorite bit from the Futurama episode:
"... the Star Trek Wars."
"You mean the vast migration of Star Wars fans?"
"No, that was the Star Wars Trek."
For Boston Legal they should have also put some StarGate gages in there for James Spader (Daniel Jackson) character.
I can't believe the Webster series finale didn't make the list!
My favorite is really a parody, not technically Star Trek. But the episode of Black Mirror "USS Callister" is amazing. If you haven't seen it, it's a must watch for any Trek fan.
Boston Legal could be set within the Nexus, where Kirk is living an alternate life (consciously) - before he didn't want that anymore (aka it was/got cancelled) and returned to his farm, right before Picard shows up (so had Picard shown up at least a couple hours "earlier", then he would've met Kirk in 21st century Boston).
The stargate sg-1 200th episode did a pretty nice reference
I'm remembering the Beavis and Butt-Head episode, where Butt-Head as Picard orders Beavis as Number One to take a Number Two.
Classic? Classic.
The wonder years will always be a favorite startrek cameo
When I had a flip phone, all I wanted was the communicator sound, or Uhura saying "Message from StarFleet"... silly me.
My childhood is screaming "YOU FORGOT READING RAINBOW!"
Anybody else enjoy seeing Ellie more in this video?? Some of the others have done it in various Trek cultures, but this was the first one with Ellie that I know of....
I'd like to see him continue. There was less content in some ways, which was bad. But in other ways, it was more interesting. I'd like to see more of these so I can decide which format I like better.
USS Calister was my introduction to Black Mirror and is, in my opinion, the best of all. I remember rumors about it becoming it's own show? Not sure if that was true or not.
This is great. Thank you! One other parody I'd add, and was expecting as number 1, is the film Galaxy Quest.
This list was for TV shows only :) Galaxy Quest is amazing though :)
@@JohnnyWednesday Galaxy Quest was real! Seriously, they promised us a new TV series and I'm pissed we didn't get it. *winks
@@tag1462 They didn't think they could do it properly without Alan Rickman. I respect that.
@@JohnnyWednesday Ah you are right. My mistake. But what an awesome parody! :)
@@philiptite6254 - no need to apologize! it's youtube - our brains pick out keywords and our fingers click :P
OMG, why is Stargate SG-1 always left out of these? Episode 100? Pretty much every other episode had a reference. O'Neil wanted to name their first space cruiser the Enterprise.
One of my favorite scenes in Breaking Bad has Badger and Skinny Pete discussing the transporter and Badger tells about his Star Trek script. Every time I get to it, I laugh and enjoy the story.
